Hi everyone. My name is Zanaida Wakatama I am mother and wife in the earliest phase of real estate investing- studying, establishing relationships and looking to identify my niche. I have a background in Accounting and Education. My ultimate goal is to pass on a significant amount of real estate to each of my children through successful deals and developments. How did you get started? What advice can you share? Let's connect. Thank you in advance.

Best Regards,

Hi @Zanaida Wakatama  Fellow Decatur investor here.   Welcome to BP!

I started out land lording ... buying houses in Decatur and nearby.  I preferred deeply discounted properties so I found myself doing lots of rehab.  Eventually, I thought I'd parlay my rehab experience into a flip.  Big difference, but I survived and profited.  

Now, I continue to flip and buy-n-hold in a bigger territory and at multiple price points.  

A better way to start is to dig in here and look for some deals simultaneously.  

Best of luck!

Rick
